Description
GUMMI APF belongs to coupling, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for APF and any equivalents.
The GUMMI APF is a Type A flexible coupling that includes an integrated brake pulley. It connects two shafts while allowing a drum or disc brake to act on the same assembly, which is useful in overhead cranes, hoists, conveyors and other equipment that needs both power transmission and controlled stopping. The flexible element absorbs small angular, radial and axial misalignments, helping protect bearings and gearboxes from vibration and shock.
The APF code identifies the brake pulley version within the GUMMI Type A line. Because the pulley is built into the coupling, there is no separate brake pulley to mount, which simplifies installation and saves space on the drive. The coupling still performs its main job: transmitting torque between shafts while compensating for minor misalignment.
Typical uses include lifting and transport machinery that requires controlled braking, such as overhead cranes, hoists and conveyor belts, as well as equipment in food and process industries. In these setups the coupling works together with a drum or disc brake that acts on the pulley, reducing impact on the gearbox and bearings.
When selecting an APF coupling, review the nominal and maximum torque of the drive, the rotation speed, the shaft diameter and the type of load. The brake pulley must match the existing brake on the machine. During assembly, align the shafts as precisely as possible and check that all connecting elements are tightened according to the manufacturer's instructions. In dusty or humid conditions, inspect the elastic elements periodically.
To request a quote, send the code APF through WhatsApp or email along with your equipment data: shaft diameter, torque and brake type. Our team replies promptly and can suggest equivalents or help you choose the right variant. If you are looking at another model in the GUMMI Type A line, with or without brake pulley, we can also assist.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the APF code mean in the GUMMI coupling?
- APF is the designation for the brake pulley variant within the GUMMI Type A line. It allows flexible transmission and braking to be combined in a single assembly.
- How do I request a quote for the GUMMI APF coupling?
- Send the code APF via WhatsApp or email with your equipment details: shaft diameter, torque and brake type. We will reply promptly and confirm the configuration that fits your application.
- Can a rigid coupling be replaced with this flexible model?
- Yes, provided the shaft dimensions and torque are compatible. The flexible coupling absorbs misalignment and vibration, which can benefit the bearings and gearbox. Contact us with your machine data for guidance.
